Insatiable Wines – Merlot – good after the obligatory 2 sips
Chessman Vineyards – Merlot (voted best) – john liked that one better
Black Oak – Reisling – definitely a yummy!
Spero Vinery – 2003 Merlot – no tannons, very tastey
Desert Moons Vineyards – Ruby – john likes
We had a great afternoon! We got to DU right on time. A couple minutes before 2 to make the most of our 4 hour window! Parking was $10 – which totally annoyed me since we had already blown $75 a piece just to get in the door… ARG! And since it wasn’t down town… But i got over it!
We enjoyed the tastings and the people. The nice thing was there was no purchasing, so there was no pressure!
We also found some fabulous beef too! – Snow Creek Ranch
And the company that recycles bottles into wine glasses and drinking glasses – Green Glass Company
